About this episode

In this episode, the hosts discuss the concept of heroism in a comedic context, referencing current events in Qatar.

Jack seeks parenting advice for his clingy toddler, prompting Brian to recommend gorilla masks, Home Depot day laborers, fake brokerage accounts, and a disturbing Polish children's show called Gort . The pair also sabotage three potential sponsors, explore Iran's unconventional revenge plans—including the infuriating video game Qatar Hero —and close with a surprisingly real discussion about why older comedy writers still understand the point of comedy.
